Was Kermit the Frog talking about a healthy diet when he said ‘It’s not easy being green’? Perhaps. For many people, a major challenge in healthy eating is making dark leafy greens palatable and digestible. You see, greens have tough cellulose fibers that need to be chewed very thoroughly. Unfortunately, chewing huge salads can be time-consuming and unpleasant for the beginner, and not always easy to digest.

Introducing: Jenny's Ultimate Lunch Kit!

This isn’t another cookbook or cooking class: it’s a kit you can follow to easily have a healthy lunchevery day for the rest of your life.

What you eat for lunch can mean the difference between a happy, creative, and productive afternoon or one spent feeling grumpy and exhausted.

Here’s A Lunch I Especially Love in Summer and a Discount on My Course…

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: eating a high-raw diet is great all year round, but it’s the most natural thing to do in summer. When the days are long and the sun is warm, I usually want to forget cooking and eat foods that feelconnected to the earth and all its beauty and wonder.

And maybe it’s my California roots, but there’s something about the phrase “avocado season” that makes me feel even warmer. For a raw foodie, the easy availability of ripe, tasty avocados is a dream come true.

Creamy frozen desserts don't have to be heavy with fat and calories. In this just-in-time-for-summer demonstration, I’ll show you how to prepare sorbet, a frozen treat that is beloved in Europe and gaining tremendous popularity in the U.S.

My Grape Sorbet is a raw food dessert that is naturally delicious, as well as naturally fat-free and dairy-free, yet surprisingly creamy and unquestionably delicious. Sophisticated enough for an adult palate, with a slightly wine-y flavor, Grape Sorbet is also a hit with kids.

Let me show you how easy it is to make raw Grape Sorbet and why a “food mill” may be your favorite new kitchen tool.

Chopped salads are a well-loved menu item at fine restaurants around the world. Truly a “chef’s choice,” these colorful salads can be made with everything from steamed cauliflower and broccoli, to roasted artichokes, raw cucumbers, and onions. In my video, I’ll demonstrate how to create a colorful raw salad that is an exceptionally satisfying one-dish meal made without animal protein.

You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to master a satisfying Chopped Salad, where several vegetables are chopped into uniform bite-sized pieces so you can taste all of them in every mouthful.

Raw food fact: when you process cucumbers, tomatoes, or red bell peppers, they become creamy enough to turn into a salad dressing. Skeptical? You won’t be after you watch my popular raw food demonstration video.

You’ll discover you how to combine cucumbers with various seasonings to create a salad condiment that's heavy on flavor, but light on fat.

I love salads. They’re so easy to customize that I never get “tastebud fatigue”...just a ton of energy and nourishment every time I dig in. My latest raw food demo shows you how to make a basic green salad and then keep it fresh and new with interesting add-ins.

No salad is complete without a dressing, so my salad demo includes three delicious choices. You’ll learn how to make a lemon herb dressing, a tahini lemon dressing, and even a fat-free tomato salsa that can go from dip to dressing.

So many parents I know are understandably worried about what their children are putting into their bodies. A terrific way to turn young eaters into healthy eaters for life is to turn them into masters of the art of salad-making.

Salads are an ideal gateway for introducing kids to a raw food kitchen because salad-making is so simple. Salads are fun, too, because kids can be super-creative mixing fruits, nuts, colors, textures, and more.
